Hope everyone's had a great Bank Holiday weekend!

It was a very rare weekend and BH Monday off for us so the only thing to sensibly do was head off to the Banger racing at King's Lynn!

There weren't any fires this time though...🤣

It was awesome!

Highly recommend 👌

**Trigger warning-very distressing**

This is truly one of the saddest and most cruel cases of animal neglect I've read this year. 😔

She is clearly a fighter and deserves all the support she can get. 🙏

If anyone can spare anything, no matter how small, it all helps collectively.

I have just donated to her care, using money from my earnings from looking after your pets.

Thank you for reading and sending much love to Delilah 🙏💗💕

🌟Pets of the Week🌟

These fab four are all from the same pet household and I adore every single one of them!

Meet Princess Leia, the most affectionate, lovable and stunning Rottweiler.

Then we have Mr Weasley, the gorgeous Golden Retriever who is a typical roly poly lover, super affectionate and attentive.

Next up we have the stunning Gino, a Maine C**n who always makes his appearance whilst preparing the dogs' food, like he's not been fed in weeks!

Lastly, we have the beautiful girl, Robin who is also always keen for any food scraps that may be going.

They are truly such a lovely menagerie of pets to look after!

Hope everyone's had a good weekend! Earlier this week, Jake decided to sell his electric butchers bike for various reasons.

So I put it on Marketplace and one of the first people to get in touch was a lady who asked whether the front cargo basket would hold a 27kg dog.

She explained to me the complex issues that her Bull Terrier had with being unable to walk on his paws so we arranged for her to pop over and give her and her dog a trial run!

We were both a little nervous, obviously for the dogs safety and how they'd get on with it so when the owner and dog arrived they got straight on with it and they went for a ride up our road!

Her dog, Boris was super chilled and just sat down in the front basket just watching the world go by and his owner said it was perfect. She said she'd spent 5 years for the perfect transportation for him and had previously been towing him on a trailer.

We all agreed that the front basket area needed to have sides to keep Boris safe when travelling so Jake set to work on his carpentry skills and I was in charge of accessorising!

We were both thrilled at what a lovely home it was going to and were so pleased with the end results.

Jake dropped it off with Boris' owner on Friday and just yesterday, we received a video of her GoPro outing with him in it and it just made us smile so much.

Video of Boris' outing to follow but hope you enjoy our handiwork making it safe and suitable for Boris! We both loved every minute of it! ❤️😁

This morning, Luna, Nera and Rosie trotted off to the market to go and nab themselves a pigs ear each...😆💖

I also had a lovely time with Sarah (Luna and Nera's owner) escorting them to the market!

🌟Pet of the week🌟

This week, Reggie made the top spot!

I've walked Reggie for around 2 years now and there are many reasons that I love him.

1. He is OBSESSED with going into Barkers DBS 😆 Enormous thanks as usual to all the staff who fuss him and provide him with his treats he loves!

2. He gives me the loveliest, identical greeting at each visit and always does Parkour up my leg before I put his harness on.

3. He patiently waits between my legs whilst I load up his snuffle mat before I leave.

4. He goes at his snuffle mat with the most awesome skills I've ever seen by throwing it up in the air with such gusto!

Love you little man AKA Barkers Dbs mascot 😆💖

🌟PETS OF THE WEEK🌟 🐈🐈

Introducing you all to the lovely Simon and Molly!

They were adopted from West Norfolk Cat Centre and I've been looking after them for around 2 years doing pop in visits.

When I first met them, their owners explained that Simon was super shy and nervous initially and I remember my very first visit, he hid under the bed.

Instead of trying to coax him out, I let him take his time approaching me, gaining his trust and letting him know I'm his friend.

Fast forward 2 years and these two are the loveliest of cats that I look after. Simon now trusts me implicitly which is the best feeling in the world when you gain an animals trust.

Molly, on the other hand is the complete opposite, super confident and I love her for her super funny expressions and her love for rolling around with my trainers scent rubbing.

I've looked after them previously as long as 3 weeks doing twice daily visits and they have both been so relaxed and happy, remaining in their own familiar safe environments at 🏡.
